Qube Learning

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal dealt only with the claimant's claim for a redundancy payment. It found that section 155 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' employment before an employee has the right to a redundancy payment, and that Miss Ashby had been employed by Qube Learning for less than two years.

On that basis, the tribunal held that the claimant did not have the right to a redundancy payment. It also recorded that she had been given the opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out, but had not provided an acceptable reason.

The claim for a redundancy payment was therefore struck out. The judgment expressly states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected by this judgment.

How we got this data

Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
